Offer of employment – Skilled trades
An offer of continuous, full-time employment from a Canadian employer can help you qualify under the Federal Skilled Trades Program.
A valid offer has to be for full-time work (i.e. a minimum of 30 hours a week) over a period of at least one year, and can be from up to two employers.
Depending on your case, the requirements for a valid job offer are different.
-
If you work in Canada now:
- you must be working for an employer listed on your work permit,
- your current employer must have made an offer to give you a full-time job (of the same type that is on your work permit) if you are accepted as a federal skilled trades worker, and
- you must be authorized to work in Canada on the day you apply for a permanent resident visa.
Also:
- your work permit must have been issued by CIC based on a positive labour market opinion from Human Resources and Skills Development Canada (HRSDC)
or
- you are currently working in Canada in a job that is exempt from the labour market opinion requirement under an international agreement (e.g. North America Free Trade Agreement) or a significant benefit category (e.g. intra-company transferee).
-
In all other cases:
You must not be working in Canada and you either
- do not have a valid work permit or
- you have a work permit, but your case is different from those described in the first example.
In this case, the offer of employment is valid if your prospective employer
- has made an offer to give you a full-time job for at least one year if you are accepted as a federal skilled trades worker, and
- has obtained a positive Labour Market Opinion from HRSDC.
CIC officers must be convinced that you will be capable of doing the work you are offered. If the job is regulated in Canada, officers must also be convinced that you will likely qualify to be licensed or certified once you are in Canada.
Note: In Canada, provinces and territories are responsible for designating trades in their jurisdiction. Designation and certification requirements vary from province to province. For more information on licensing and regulatory requirements for specific professions, please consult Canada’s Foreign Credentials Referral Office or the relevant body in the province/territory where you plan to reside.
